OK. The Linux god (my brother) has updated my DNS provider with the updated IP address. DNS caches should clear out within 60 minutes, and you guys should start seeing my server again. He's also looking into why they weren't automatically informed of the move.

That's one of the two problem cleared up.

The other one, I'm actually more embarrassed about: throwing errors in the upload script.

There is a fix in place in the script available from the help page. Any new people won't see this problem in the future.

For those of you that have the current script, you have two options:

- download the newer version of the script

- make a manual change to the script as described here: After line 291, in a blank line, place this command:

On Error Resume Next
You'll end up with a section looking like this...
    .....

   'data variables
    Dim szData                  ' build string for uploading data


    On Error Resume Next

   'build upload data
    szData = "data="
    szData = szData & "" & m_szUSER_TEAM & ""
    ....
Save the script, and that's it.

I really apologize for the inconvenience.

Egon, those planned learning features in the script are just to get the unintelligentsia among us (like me) to discover that they can actually use a computer and program it.

How many folks have learned more about their system just by getting F@H running smoothly? Just as many as have learned HTML just to talk on FR.

I remember now why I loved assembly programming on an IBM 360 and have hated all other programming since then. If it's not hardwired then I just don't get it.

Thanks for your dedication! BTW, can you add a red flag if the last line is something like this: "Folding@Home Client Shutdown."

I just found one of mine workstations sitting fat, dumb and happy, but not doing any work. It had that message. I restarted the service and it is working fine, now.
